For a more complete understanding of the reasons for the ratings assigned, please refer to the ratings assessment.

A.M. Best

A.M. Best’s rating represents an overall opinion of an insurance company’s ability to meet its obligations to policyholders and is derived by evaluating the financial strength, operating performance, and market profile of an insurance company in comparison with quantitative and qualitative standards of a peer life/health industry composite. A.M. Best ratings range from A++ (Superior) to S (Rating Suspended). 

DBRS Morningstar

The rating provides an opinion on the financial strength of the insurer and its ability to satisfy its financial obligations in accordance with the policy or insurance contract terms under which an obligation has been issued. Ratings are based on quantitative and qualitative considerations relevant to the insurer, as well as the relative ranking of claims. Moreover, all rating categories from AA to CCC contain the subcategories (high) and (low). The absence of either a (high) or (low) designation indicates the rating is in the middle of the category.

Fitch Ratings

Rating committees also weigh several criteria including overall business profile, capitalization and leverage, and financial performance and earnings when evaluating the final rating.
